Knowing that Shea can't go, why wouldn't Klinsmann bring in someone like Gatt? I know Beasley has experience, but I haven't been impressed with him in a long time.

We need to score goals, and that means we need to have dynamic players in the game. Without Shea and Donovan (and without Jozy), a guy like Gatt would have helped. Now, I hope he plays Corona off the bench.

It's pathetic that our only non-central midfielders are Zusi, Kljestan, and Corona. In my ideal NT set-up, these guys wouldn't even be in my final 9 midfielders to make the team.

Zusi and Kljestan would both probably prefer to play in the center as #10's. Zusi is extremely versatile. He's been playing as a left winger in SKC's 4-3-3 last I saw. (A function of the Bunbury injury) I think Kjlestan is a player who wouldn't have much value as a wide player. Where does he usually play for Anderlecht?

Zusi played well out wide for us against Jamaica. After sleeping on it I'm not worried about him out there. Should be more than enough pairing up with Dolo (which they did extremely well last game) against A&B and Guat.

However, if Williams gets put in a wide role again I will start punting infants. He belongs at CDM and nowhere else.

Dempsey is much better up top withdrawn from the striker than out wide IMO. Is there any way Sacha can play LM? I must admit I am not familiar with this guy at all.
